It is plattform indipendent, you don't need to port it for OS A, B or C. 2. You can integrate it into Websites as an applet, which has as I believe a huge potential. 3. You can write complete new applications around the WWJ virtual globe and deploy it for example as JavaWebStart .jnlp's, what I think is also a really great but in the moment underestimated technology for client apps outside of the browser. 4. That Java is slow is an outdated myth in the first place in my opinion and by the way computers are getting faster and better all the time so I think it is absolutely affordable to loose some software side performance for the benefit of platform independency. > btw- I maintain a wiki of all things digital earh, with a list of > GeoBrowsers, at http://isde5.pbwiki.com/Earth-Browsers > additions welcome Looks like a great resource from a first glance, will have a deeper look after my finals this coming week... by the way the magic word is not so hard to figure out. ;-)
